PURPOSE This study aimed to explore cognitive functions in patients with childhood epilepsy with occipital paroxysms (CEOP) and to compare the performance of these patients with that of patients with symptomatic occipital epilepsy (SOE) and healthy control subjects. METHOD Twenty-eight patients with epilepsy (17 CEOP, 11 SOE) were enrolled. The control group had similar demographical characte...

A previous study on the underlying structure of the Wechsler intelligence test (WISC-R; [Wechsler, D. (1974). Manual WISCR: Wechsler intelligence scale for children—Revised. New York: Psychological Corporation]), using smallest space analysis (SSA) [Guttman, L., and Levy, S. (1991). Two structural laws for intelligence tests. Intelligence, 15, 79–103] had indicated a threedimensional cylindrica...

Converging data suggest recovery from injury in the preterm brain. We used functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) to test the hypothesis that cerebral connectivity involving Wernicke's area and other important cortical language regions would differ between preterm (PT) and term (T) control school age children during performance of an auditory language task. Fifty-four PT children (600-125...

This research examined two samples of students classified as learning disabled (LD) for evidence of the phenomenon known as the Flynn effect (FE; Flynn, 1999). Triennial test data were collected for two samples. Sample 1 included students tested twice with the Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children—Third Edition (WISC-III; n 59). Sample 2, the primary data set, included students tested first ...

Children with intellectual disability (ID) are susceptible to poor experiences of care and treatment outcomes, this may compound existing health inequities. ID itself can has comorbidities any other pathologies, such as attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). Based on the assessment data, subject seems be dependent her parent, not able sit quietly, understand long complex instructions....

The Flynn effect has been widely researched in Western and European nations, while it has been comparatively understudied in Asian countries. This study examines possible Flynn effects in China from 1985-86 and to 2011-12. Results are reported for an IQ increase among 12 year olds on the Full Scale IQ WISC-R (Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children- Revised) of 6.19 IQ points, a gain on the Pe...

To observe the clinical efficacy of TCM directed permeation combined with Jin's three-needle acupuncture in treatment insufficiency renal sperm intellectual and developmental disability. A total 84 children type disability were randomly divided into 42 patients group cases control group. The was treated directional cognitive training, while given only conventional training. Before after treatme...

The purpose of this study was to determine the degree of comparability between the WISC-R and the WISC-III over a three year period. The subjects were 207 children, 124 Learning Disabled, 51 Mental Disabled, and 32 Behavior Disabled, enrolled in special education, in a large urban district (Omaha, Nebraska) and several rural districts in southwest Iowa. Results from the comparison study between...

The cognitive profile and measured intellectual level vary according to assessment tools in children on the autism spectrum, much more so than in typically developing children. The recent inclusion of intellectual functioning in the diagnostic process for autism spectrum disorders leads to the crucial question on how to assess intelligence in autism, especially as some tests and subtests seem m...

The Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children-Fifth Edition (WISC-V; Wechsler, 2014 ) provides a general intelligence score, representing g, and five index scores, reflecting underlying broad factors. Within person differences between the overall performance across subtests denoted as difference are often used to examine profiles of strengths weaknesses. In this study, validity such was examined...
